A Window to the Fatherland – Thursday 3 August 2017
We begin this edition of A Window to the Fatherland with reporting on the closure of Andisheh satellite TV station and the launch of IranInternational TV channel and its Farsi language website.

Then we will listen to the comments of Morteza Alviri about the reduction in the number of civil servants in Iran and how Iran’s Ministry of Sport has ordered the country’s gyms to include certain procedures in their programs in praise of Seyed Ali Khamenei.

In the second part of the program we will look at a report in the Khorasan Daily about the cost of buying a grave in Iran and how this has become a money-making machine for the Mafia-type businessmen.

We will later update you on the behind the scene manoeuvres of the regime’s factions to include their own people in Rouhani’s cabinet.

And at the end of the program as usual we will have a round up of news of the Middle East region.

Stay with us for this edition of A Window on the Fatherland and share it with your friends and relatives.

We look forward to hearing your views and comments about the issues covered in tonight’s program.
